About

Professional summary

I am an experienced DevOps & Cloud Infrastructure Engineer with over 12 years of success in designing, implementing, and managing large-scale, low-latency, and secure infrastructure platforms across AWS, Azure, on-premise, and hybrid cloud environments. My specialization lies in DevOps, DevSecOps, Observability, and Cloud Architecture, with deep expertise in Kubernetes, CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and cost optimization. I have delivered impactful projects including multi-account AWS Control Tower migrations, ElasticSearch + OpenTelemetry-based observability platforms handling billions of events, and CI/CD pipelines using Gitlab, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, and Terraform. I am skilled in building resilient, high-availability systems that serve mission-critical workloads at scale, with a strong emphasis on security, performance, and developer experience. I am adept at both individual technical execution and leading cross-functional teams, and I am open to opportunities as a specialist or engineering lead in forward-thinking organizations focused on cloud-native and platform engineering innovation.
